"I write mobile phone apps and there has been no better way to communicate to the world that one of my apps is alive than prMac's excellent press release service. The service is fast, website-automated, human-reviewed and a pleasure to use during the chaos that usually revolves around product roll-out. But don't believe me, just Google for your product, do a prMac press release, then Google again. That is the real convincing evidence. Keep the great work going."

"A press release for our second app was written by Chris Hauk and published a few days ago. It is an excellent piece of writing. The press release he wrote for our first app was picked up on by several reviewers, bringing publicity to our app. So we prepaid for him to write our future press releases. Our apps are micro apps and very specialized, so we were not sure what to expect and recognized there might not be much interest. We were pleasantly surprised with the result from the press release. I believe the professional writing made a difference in getting reviewers to look at our app. We look forward to the press release from Chris next month when we launch our first app that will translate menus from another language into English. He is easy to work with and always patient, supportive and positive."
